What the fund is

GIVE is an exchange-traded fund that is actively managed by Perpetual. Units trade on the ASX during market hours, and the unit price reflects the value of the shares held and the balance of buyers and sellers.

The fund aims to provide long-term capital growth and regular income through Investment in quality Australian shares that meet the manager's ESG and values-based criteria. Because the manager chooses the holdings, results depend on those decisions and on the screens applied.

The investment approach

GIVE invests predominantly in quality Australian shares that meet Perpetual's ESG and values-based criteria. Its stated objective is to outperform the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index, before fees and taxes, over rolling three-year periods.

The fund's style focuses on small and mid-sized Australian companies with value characteristics, such as lower price ratios and higher dividend yields, alongside a quality test. This style tends to differ from the largest-cap Index Funds and can behave differently in market leadership shifts.

Income and costs

The most recent distribution was a final payment of A$0.121, with an ex-date of 1 July 2026 and payment on 21 July 2026. The ASX page does not show a current annual yield for the fund, so investors should review the distribution history over time.

Management fees and costs are 0.65% a year. Fees reduce the net return, and investors should weigh them against the value they place on the screening and the active approach.

What to understand before investing

Small and mid-sized companies can be more volatile than the largest listed companies, and their shares may be less liquid. Price moves can be larger in both directions, and the fund's unit price can fall sharply in a market downturn.

ESG screens exclude some companies and sectors, which can change the fund's exposure compared with a broad index. Value tilts can also underperform for extended periods when growth shares lead. Investors should consider how the fund fits with their other holdings and their values.

Comparing with a broad Australian share fund

Investors comparing GIVE with a broad Australian share fund may look at the screening criteria, the size of the companies held, the style tilt, the fee and the benchmark used to judge results. These factors together determine how the fund diverges from the market.

Final Word

GIVE combines an ESG screen with a value tilt in the small and mid-cap segment of the Australian market. Investors looking at it should weigh the screening criteria alongside its style exposure.
